Decision Makers' Guide to Solid Waste Management

The EPA developed the Decision Maker's Guide to Solid Waste
Management for solid waste management practitioners:

Local government officials;

Facility owners and operators;

Consultants; and

Regulatory agency specialists.

This guide contains technical and economic information to
help these practitioners meet the daily challenges of planning,
managing, and operating municipal solid waste (MSW) programs
and facilities. Its primary goals are to:

Encourage reduction of waste at the source, and

Foster implementation of integrated solid waste management
systems that are cost-effective and protect human health
and the environment.
